Destruction Warlock

Contrary to some of her prior choices, Anoukisse was looking for a transmog outfit that suited her fiery training. She is a Destruction Warlock for crying out loud! Where is the evil? The chaos? The inferno?!

Heeeeere it is. Right here.

Fire and Chaos

"Drat! Missed these ones!"

Featured above: Dark Conjuror's Collar, Shawl of Wonderment, Valorous Deathbringer Robe, Sash of Potent Incantations, Zaetar's Gloves, Slippers of the Holy Light.

For some reason, my screenshots have been blurry lately. I'll have to check what's going on with that, so I apologize for the poor quality images. The robe is a Warlock-specific item obtained with a token. The weapon can be anything you choose, thanks to the dazzling, flaming effects of the Power Torrent enchantment, but what can you do. On the bright side, it costs less in transmog fees.

This outfit would probably look just as good with the Felheart Horns, although more and more I find they are over-used.

Princess of the Nile

Life in an oasis, tropical weather, sunny skies, the fresh breeze coming off the salty banks mere feet away... Anou takes a rest from the desert heat, inspired by Egyptian beauties of myth, baring hips and shoulders while meandering along her estates.

I've held onto the helm these many years, waiting for the perfect opportunity to show it off. My original goal was for Anou to wear it as a halo, but the pink/dark grey combination never really suited anything angel-like. When she got her hands on this beautiful pink chest piece... Eureka! The legs are to tie in the dark grey in the helm and bracers. It would be nice to find a delicate belt and gloves, and some matching shoulders for an opposite-effect transmog outfit, but for now I've found nothing.

Spectacular Sight

The perfect shoes for this outfit, which I happen to have in my bank (but are Warlock-specific) would be Doomcaller's Footwraps. They are open-toe-type sandals obtained through the AQ quests. Mages and priests can get similar models but in a different color.

In the Corn Field

Here's an outfit similar to the gardening outfit that could maybe lend itself better to a male character (for those too "squeamish" to be in touch with their flower-power). I have been farming Tirisfal Farmers for the sword that looks like a broom, but to no avail as yet. There was also a class-specific quest that Anou could have done to get a staff that looks like a scythe, but it doesn't seem to be available to me, something I will be asking Blizzard GMs about.

If you don't have the Weather-Beaten Fishing Hat, you could always opt for the Crochet Hat, which is a grey-quality item that looks exactly the same. Or, substitute for whatever hat you prefer. I think those two are the best seeing as they perfectly match the brown in the rest of the outfit.

Incidentally, I use Outfitter to sort my costumes and keep track of pieces. But when I took my screenshots for some reason, the Sleeveless T-Shirt wasn't equipped even though it's saved to my farmer's set. I posted a screenshot at the bottom of the page.

Pruning (Corning?) the Crop

The Amplifying Blade looks like a pair of shears in my opinion, but you can swap it out for whatever farmer-type-looking tool you can equip or find. I chose the Willow Branch in this scenario since it looks like a twig or stem Anou may have pruned off in the corn field.

Snip!

Toss It Into the Wagon!

The Gypsy

Ever since the new and improved Darkmoon Faire has come out, I have thought of putting a gypsy costume together. Don't confuse gypsy with fortune-teller--though I must say some of the tents on Darkmoon Island are definitely inspiring to stage a fortune-teller or other shady circus performer.

Below, Anoukisse and her pets are unwinding from a hard day's work at the Faire, a vegetable stew is simmering in the pot for herself and anyone else who may drop by--you know gypsies--and the evening looks promising.

The Library

Here's that entry about a variety of books I'd mentioned earlier this week. These are the books I have in my inventory, some normal looking, others mysterious or scary. They match pretty much anything I have put together so far, so I hope they can inspire you too!

Here, Anou is studying magic with the mages, warlocks and priests in Silvermoon City. They have discussed certain issues at length, performed tests and other knowledgeable stuff.

1) Normal and Neutral

2) Normal and Neutral

3) Mysterious and Shiny

4) Mysterious and Glowing

5) Scary

Featured above: 1) Royal Guide of Escape Routes 2) Fire-Runed Grimoire 3) Dungeoneering Guide 4) Chronicle of Dark Secrets 5) Tome of Shadow Force

Upon her arrival, the study was warm, the day's rays having permeated even the thick walls of this edifice. But as the shadows grew, a chill followed. Good thing Anou brought a warm vest to pull on.

Set of Cooler Colors

Featured above: Formal White Shirt, Knitted Belt, Simple Kilt, Pagan Shoes. The Warmer set is using Woven Vest and book #1; the Cooler set is using Banshee Armor and book #2.

Shadows of the Magi

After that twin warlock incident (/shudder), Anoukisse decided that she was no longer unique, and it was time for a wardrobe change.

These are items Anou had in her inventory for quite some time, and I had been toying with the idea of putting them together. There are some warlock-specific tier pieces, combined with what looks like typical mage items, so the look will be more difficult to copy, but it remains smoky and very evil-looking. (I couldn't decide which screen caps were best, so I've chosen a whole slew of them to show the sinister feel I was going for.)

I like how the purple in the back of the helm matches the purple at the top of the cloak, yet the cloak has random blue gems inset that recall the glowing blue on the front of the outfit. The off-white in the cloak you may find a bit off, but I think it's neutral enough to be considered a match. I didn't feature the weapons in all the pictures, but basically, Power Torrent makes whatever you have equipped glow in various shades of pink and orange, so it doesn't really matter.

Following the Recipe

Rain of Fire. Check!

Summon Infernal. Prepare to Incinerate.

By the way, here is the perfect mount for this set!

Anou Gets a Dog

Here is a day to day outfit one could use, say, to go out to the dog park with your faithful companion. Incidentally, Anoukisse only just got her own Perky Pug this year, evidence of how she (I) hates using the LFG feature.

Magical Menagerie and Rescue

Visa, Master Card, or Dalaran Express?

Not a fire hydrant, but it will do.
